I created the look of the flamingo’s feathers by using a wispy pink and white opaque glass, cutting it so the pattern went in the direction of the feathers. The background is an iridescent milky glass with the texture of grass blowing in the wind.

Archways16-1/2” x 20-1/2”

I designed this piece incorporating the typical straight lines of art deco along with curves and circles to form an archway. I used a simple color combination of golden amber rolled glass, olive green rolled glass, brown and amber wispy glass, and a firery red wispy glass to form the archways. The background glass is a clear seed glass with small air bubbles in it.

Baubles14” x 24”

This is the custom stained glass window I designed for the winner of the silent auction for the 2010 Chefs for Kids, Inc. Annual Fundraiser. The generous donor that won the auction wanted an abstract design to fit into her décor. I noticed she had a lot of art that had circles with shades of reds, greens, turquoises, and blues and thought I should tie into her existing art pieces. With that in mind, I designed, “Baubles”, multiple circles in colors of wispy dark red and wispy red/orange, wispy turquoise/white and turquoise/clear, and wispy green and wispy green/white opalescent glass with a cobalt blue background. Almost looking like a strand of round beads.

Brushes8-1/2” x 12-1/2”

Wanting to design a special piece for fellow artists, friends of mine that have chosen decorative painting as their favorite art form, I started with the type of brushes that they use, then put them into a wispy teal and fiery red cup to match the colors in their painting studio so it made this piece even more personal. The background color is a wispy white with light amber as if it is the canvas they are about to paint.

Butterfly & Daisy12” x 12”

A butterfly fluttering around a daisy was a done as a memorial piece for my client’s mother who recently passed away. Her mother loved sitting in her garden watching the butterflies playing in the air near her daisies. The butterfly is a wispy yellow/white glass that I first cut the entire wing, then cut it further into it’s sections so that the pattern of the glass looked like the pattern in a butterfly’s wing. Then added a bit of wispy orange/white glass for the centers. The daisy is made with a wispy white and bright yellow glass. The background glass is a clear wavy glass that looks as if the breeze is blowing.

I used a simple color combination of golden amber rolled glass, olive green rolled glass, brown and amber wispy glass, and a fiery red wispy glass to form the archways. The background glass is a clear seed glass with small air bubbles in it.

Falling Leaf10-1/2” x 18-1/2”

While sitting on my patio, I noticed a leaf that fell from the neighbor’s tree, and e.e. cummings’ poem “1 (a…(a leaf falls on loneliness)” came to mind.

I created this piece using various textured clear glass and leaving the center square free of glass. The only color is that of the leaf, which I did in two shades of green to give the illusion of it turning in upon itself as it falls.

Falling Autumn Leaf8” Diameter

A seasonal fall version of “Falling Leaf”.
The wispy orange/brown/yellow glass captures the colors of an autumn leaf falling to the ground. The clear “baroque” wavy glass makes it look like you can see the movement of the leaf as it falls from the tree.

As you can see, almost any pattern can be done in other colors as well as other shaped pieces. The round pieces can be put into a stand or rings can be added so it can be hung in a window.

Rose & Daisy Intertwined17-1/2” x 17-1/2”

The rose is a deep red with two shades of green for the stem and the daisy is a wispy white and bright yellow flower with a green stem. The back ground glass is a granite textured clear glass and the frame is a solid black glass.

Butterfly with Geode Wings - Geode Series18-1/2” x 9-1/2”

The larger oblong shapes on the bottom wings are sister geodes slices (they were cut from the same geode within 1 slice of one another). They have shades of amber, blue and gray in them. To compliment the colors of these slices, I’ve selected semi-translucent and translucent opalescent colors in shades of amber and gray. The body of the butterfly is a dark amber/white translucent glass and the amber spots within the wings are amber glass globs. The antenna will be lead wire. This piece can be put in a stand or rings can be added so that it can be hung. Once this is decided the antenna will be added.

Sausage on a Fork - Geode Series8-1/2” x 11”

A fun piece that started as a joke. A friend wondered if I could do a “cheesy” window for a good friend of his, who he loved to grill with.

The “sausage” is an agate geode slice. The red, hot coals are red glass globs that reflect the light just right so they truly look like they are on fire. The outer part of the grill is black opaque glass where the inside is dark gray translucent glass, as if brightened by the hot coals. I used the lead lines to be the fork holding the sausage as well as the heat lines rising from the hot coals. The edge is a caramel opaque glass.

Going Green & Amber - Recycled Series8” x 10-1/2”

Keeping with the times, I felt that I didn’t want to waste my leftover glass from other projects by just throwing it out, so I’ve recycled this glass by creating new pieces made from the leftovers of other projects.

This piece is done with shades of green, amber, and gray glass with various textures and patterns. I’ve also added amber glass globs for additional shape and texture.

A fiery Mango Calla lily that matched the color of the bride’s bouquet along with the dark green of the leaves and an off-white opaque background, the color of the bride’s gown.
